“PETE” PETIT FIELD at

CENTER PARC STADIUM

HOME OF THE GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS

CENTER PARC STADIUM

CENTER PARC CREDIT UNION STADIUM is the home of Georgia State football. The Panthers took over this iconic property, formerly Centennial Olympic Stadium and then Turner Field and venue for Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves, for the 2017 season. The facility was renamed Center Park Credit Union Stadium as part of a 15-year, $21 million agreement between Center Parc Credit Union, a division of Atlanta Postal Credit Union (APCU), and Georgia State Athletics, announced on Aug. 11, 2020. Center Parc Stadium features 25,000 seats for football, a FieldTurf playing surface on “Pete” Petit Field and dramatic views of the Atlanta skyline. The conversion process incorporated the existing seating areas on the north, west and south sides of the stadium with a new grandstand constructed on the east side, formerly the outfield. The Panthers enter their fourth season in this impressive venue, which also houses the Football Operations Suite, completed in 2019. All of the program’s day-to-day operations are at Center Parc Stadium, including weight room, meetings rooms, coaches’ offices, athletic training room and equipment room.

Center Parc Stadium was originally constructed as the 85,000-seat Centennial Olympic Stadium and used for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and the track and field competition. Ground was broken on the stadium on July 10, 1993. Following the Olympic Games, much of the north end of the stadium was removed in the conversion to the 49,000seat baseball park that served as the home of the Atlanta Braves from 1997 through 2016. The first baseball game at Turner Field was played on April 4, 1997 as the Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-4. The stadium hosted the National League Division Series a total of 11 times (1997–2005, 2010, 2013) and the NL Championship Series four times (1997–1999, 2001), as well as one World Series (1999), one NL Wild Card Game (2012, the first in baseball history), and the 2000 MLB All-Star Game. The Braves played their final game at Turner Field, a 1-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers, on Oct. 2, 2016. In November 2016, the Board of Regents approved Georgia State University’s purchase of 38 acres of the 68-acre site for $22.8 million, and the conversion process began in early 2017. Georgia State opened its new home against Tennessee State before 24,333 fans on Aug. 31, 2017.

HEAD COACH

SHAWN

ELLIOTT HEAD COACH

A coaching veteran who brought 20 years of experience in winning programs, Shawn Elliott was introduced as Georgia State’s third head football coach by President Mark Becker and Director of Athletics Charlie Cobb on Dec. 9, 2016.

coaching veteran who brought 20 years of experience in winning programs, Shawn Elliott was introduced as Georgia State’s third head football coach by President Mark Becker and Director of Athletics Charlie Cobb on Dec. 9, 2016. Elliott came to GSU after highly successful stints at South Carolina, where he served as the co-offensive coordinator, offensive line coach and interim head coach, and Appalachian State, where he coached the offensive line. In 23 seasons as a Division I coach, Elliott has been part of 21 winning seasons, 18 teams that reached the NCAA playoffs or a bowl game, and three consecutive NCAA FCS titles from 2005-07. That success has continued at Georgia State, where Elliott has led the Panthers to bowl games in two of his three seasons in Atlanta. Other highlights of his first three years at GSU include the first bowl victory in school history, Georgia State’s first winning season as an FBS program, and school-record seven-win campaigns in both 2017 and 2019.

The 2019 season began with another major first for the Georgia State program as Elliott’s Panthers earned a dominating 38-30 victory over Tennessee at Neyland Stadium for the school’s first win over a Power 5 opponent. Elliott was named the Dodd Trophy National Coach of the Week, and his Panthers were recognized as the FWAA Reveal Suits National Team of the Week. That is the third time that Elliott has been part of the National Team of the Week; his Appalachian State team was recognized for its 2007 victory at Michigan and his South Carolina squad for its 2010 win over No. 1 Alabama. The win over Tennessee launched a record-setting 2019 season as the Panthers won seven games in the regular season for the first time and achieved their best home record with a 5-1 mark at Georgia State Stadium. Bolstered by one of the top rushing attacks in the nation, the 2019 team set numerous team and individual records, most notably establishing new season standards for points, touchdowns, rushing yards and total offense.

Despite taking over a Georgia State program playing just its eighth season of football in 2017, Elliott not only guided GSU to a bowl game in his first year at the helm, but he led the Panthers to their first bowl victory, 27-17 over Western Kentucky in the AutoNation Cure Bowl. That win gave the program a school-record seven victories in Elliott’s first season. Individual honors in Elliott’s first three seasons include 26 All-Sun Belt Conference honorees, Georgia State’s first two players selected to the Reese’s Senior Bowl, seven former players signed to NFL free agent contracts and a first-round selection in the CFL draft. The accolades extend to the classroom with GSU’s first Academic All-American® as well as five Academic All-District® selections in three seasons. The Panthers posted a program-record 3.03 GPA in his Elliott’s first semester and then nearly matched that with a 3.0 for the spring 2020 term. Before taking over the Georgia State program, Elliott worked seven seasons (201016) at South Carolina under Will Muschamp and Steve

HEAD COACH Spurrier, highlighted by three consecutive 11-win seasons from 2011-13 during the most successful run in the Gamecocks’ history. In addition to coaching the offensive line, he was the running game coordinator in 2010 and 2011, was elevated to co-offensive coordinator in 2012, and then served as the interim head coach following Spurrier’s retirement midway through the 2015 season. Elliott originally joined the South Carolina staff in 2010 and helped the Gamecocks reach five straight bowl games while coaching some of the most prolific and balanced offenses in school history. The Gamecocks turned in the program’s best offensive season, statistically, in 2013, averaging 34.1 points while rolling up a school-record 452.3 yards per game. Before going to South Carolina in 2010, Elliott coached his entire career at Appalachian State, his alma mater. In 13 seasons there, he was an integral part of App State’s three consecutive NCAA

titles from 2005-07 as well as the Mountaineers’ historic upset at Michigan in 2007. He helped lead the Mountaineers to 10 NCAA playoff berths in 13 seasons with two trips to the national semifinals and three appearances in the quarterfinals in addition to the three championships. Beginning in 1997, he worked two seasons as a defensive assistant (1997-98) and then two seasons as the tight ends coach (1999-00) before taking over the offensive line in 2001. In nine seasons as the Mountaineers’ offensive line coach, Elliott’s players earned All-America distinction on 12 occasions, including four different linemen who received first-team All-America accolades. He also coached All-American and future NFL tight end Daniel Wilcox in 2000. In 2003, offensive lineman Wayne Smith was the first pick in the Canadian Football League Draft. From 2005-07, Elliott coached three-consecutive Southern Conference Jacobs Blocking

Trophy recipients. Elliott was one of three App State coaches to earn the NCAA’s Award of Valor for their efforts in rescuing two individuals from an automobile accident in 2000. The two head coaches under whom Elliott spent the bulk of his time as an assistant coach, Spurrier at South Carolina and Jerry Moore at Appalachian State, are both enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. As a player, was a fouryear letterwinner who helped the Mountaineers to two Southern Conference titles and a combined record of 36-16. He served as a co-captain of the 1995 App State squad that finished 12-1 while earning all-league distinction as a defensive end. A native of Camden, S.C., Elliott earned his bachelor’s degree from Appalachian State in 1996. He is married to the former Summer Scruggs, also an App State grad and a standout tennis player for the Mountaineers, and the couple has two children, Maddyn and Max.

PRESIDENT

MARK P. BECKER SINCE BEGINNING HIS TENURE as Georgia State University’s seventh president in January 2009, President Mark P. Becker has pursued an ambitious vision for the future of the institution and has led it through an unparalleled period of growth and advancement.

ince beginning his tenure as Georgia State University’s seventh president in 2009, President Mark P. Becker has led Georgia State through a dynamic period of growth and advancement and put it on a trajectory to reshape itself and its region. Reflecting his vision of the urban public research university for the 21st century, the university has pursued a 10-year strategic plan through which Georgia State has emerged as one of the nation’s leading urban research universities. Georgia State, one of the most diverse universities in the U.S., is a national model for student success, setting records for its graduation rates and the number of students it graduates, and leading the country in eliminating disparities in student achievement based on race, ethnicity and income. Under Dr. Becker’s leadership, Georgia State has built a burgeoning research enterprise, growing sponsored research at more than twice the national rate. Widely recognized for his work in building a growing national profile for Georgia State, Dr. Becker has been named among the 10 most innovative presidents in the country by Washington Monthly magazine. U.S. News & World Report magazine has ranked Georgia State second among the nation’s “most innovative” universities. Dr. Becker is vice-chair of the University Innovation Alliance, a coalition of 11 public research universities working to make college degrees more accessible to all students.

Through the rapid development of its campus and its engagement with civic and business leaders, the university has been recognized as a major catalyst for the revitalization of downtown Atlanta and the economic vitality of its region. Adding to Georgia State’s increasing national profile, Dr. Becker has fostered the development of NCAA Division 1 athletics, and the university’s intercollegiate teams have won six conference championships since rejoining the Sun Belt Conference in 2013. Prior to his appointment as president of Georgia State, Dr. Becker was executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at the University of South Carolina and dean of the School of Public Health and assistant vice president of public health preparedness and emergency response at the

University of Minnesota. From 1989 to 2000, Dr. Becker was a professor in the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health, where he also was associate dean for academic affairs. He has held academic appointments at the University of Washington, the University of Florida and Cornell University Dr. Becker attended Harford (Md.) Community College, earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Towson State University in 1980 and his doctor’s degree in statistics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1985. He grew up in Havre de Grace, Md., near Baltimore.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

CHARLIE COBB CHARLIE COBB enters his seventh year at the helm of the Georgia State Department of Athletics and 16th as a Division I athletics director, leading a transformation for the program throughout campus and the city of Atlanta.

obb was hired in August of 2014 to build a winning program “the right way,” per President Mark Becker. Since his hire, multiple new facilities have opened, while student-athletes maintained above a 3.0 grade point average for the 12th-straight year, including a record 3.40 GPA in spring 2020. Georgia State also received the Sun Belt’s Institutional Graduation Award twice under his tenure. Among Cobb’s biggest projects has been participating in the acquisition, purchase, and re-purposing of Turner Field, transforming the former Major League Baseball venue into the home of Georgia State football, now named Center Parc Credit Union Stadium in recognition of the $21 million, 15–year naming rights agreement reached in 2020. Phase One of the project was completed in August 2017 and includes new east side seating and an artificial surface field for the football team. Phase Two moved all football operations to the stadium in 2019 as part of a $300 million plan to transform the 68-acre site. Future construction plans include the completion of an “Athletics Neighborhood,” including a new Convocation Center, baseball stadium, softball stadium, soccer facility and track and field venue. The Bobby Jones Golf Practice Facility opened for the men’s and women’s golf teams in 2019. On the field, the Panthers have garnered unprecedented success as football earned its first-ever appearance in a bowl

game in 2015 and two years later won the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando. Men’s basketball pulled off a shocking upset in the NCAA Tournament in 2015 and then earned back-toback NCAA berths in 2018 and 2019. Since rejoining the Sun Belt Conference in 2013, the men’s basketball program has won more games than any other program in the league. Before taking over the Georgia State program, Cobb spent nine years as the Director of Athletics at Appalachian State. Previously he worked for six years honing his business acumen with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome, before returning to his alma mater, NC State. Through the implementation of the department’s strategic plan, Cobb is focused on building a Culture of Success at Georgia State based on five themes: Academic Achievement, Competitive Greatness, Ethical Behavior, Social Responsibility and Community Engagement. Those ideals helped him build and maintain a high-performing program at App State. The Mountaineers won three consecutive Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championships, the first three-peat in FCS history. They also brought home eight consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships (top men’s sports program in the Southern Conference) and four Germann Cup championships (top women’s program). Together, they earned the men’s and

women’s awards in the same academic year four times. At App State, Cobb helped create $50 million in facilities improvements as the Mountaineers’ fundraising efforts reached all-time highs, surpassing the $3 million mark. The jewel of the construction projects was the seven-story Appalachian Athletics Center, and the campaign also produced new homes for baseball, softball and soccer, as well as a new indoor practice facility. The 52-year-old Cobb was a four-year letterwinner as a football player at NC State. He graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990 and earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio in 1992. As a senior center, he was named to the All-ACC second team and was an All-ACC academic selection. He was awarded the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference’s Jim Tatum Award, which recognizes the senior football player with the highest GPA. Cobb and his wife, Lindsay, have a son and daughter, 23-year-old Harrison, a recent graduate of Hampden-Sydney College, and 19-year-old Branan, who attends Centre College. Lindsay Cobb was an All-ACC goalkeeper for the NC State women’s soccer team from 1987-90 and is the current head soccer coach at Whitefield Academy.

PANTHER BAND

Since its debut in 2010, the GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY PANTHER BAND has become one of the most decorated marching bands in the Southeast.

he Georgia State Panther Band is in its eleventh year of existence and serves as an integral part of campus life. Referred to as “the Sound of Downtown,” the Panther Band performs a pre-game show at all home games, and halftime shows at games they attend. In addition to football games, the band performs at university and community events, as well as high school marching band exhibitions. The Georgia State University Panther Band has a distinguished history of performance. Founded in 2010 along with the University’s football team, the Panther Band has quickly made a name for itself performing for live, televised, and motion picture audiences. Rated by its peers as one of the best college marching bands in the country, the Panther Band was ranked among the top-ten bands in the nation by the College Band Directors National Association

in 2013 and the top-five among the Southern Division in 2012, 2016 and 2020. In 2014, the band entertained millions along the streets of New York and on television as it participated in the 88th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In 2013, the Panther Band proudly marched through Washington, D.C. playing the music of James Brown during the inauguration of President Barack Obama. In 2019, the Panther Band performed for over 100 million viewers as part of the Super Bowl LIII Pepsi Halftime Show. The Panther Band accepted an invitation to perform in the 2022 Pasadena Tournament of Roses parade. The Panther Band has proven itself as a band that truly entertains. The Panther Band is under the direction of Chester B. Phillips, Georgia State’s director of athletic bands, and T. Devin Reid, assistant director of bands.
